Making A Weight Shift Balsa Fishing Lure Part 3 of 3 

Garuda Didada ku Wah anda pernah bikin lure dari tutorial ini gan?

Leo Latus ...tidak 100% tutorial ini saya ikuti,krn keterbatasan alat,bahan dan waktu...tp dalam prakteknya pasti akan timbul ide2 lain...sudah banyak lure yg saya buat..beberapa lure buatan saya harus berakhir didasar sungai,laut bahkan diatas pohon T_T...hahaha XD

Thanks, i too once thought that I was a former fisherman then i realized i was just a fisherman taking a break to regroup.

Hopefully i should be getting a little faster at making the videos but i cannot see me hitting thirty, i do want to get out more and hopefully over the next few videos the projects should take me to places rather than just filming my hands, thanks

+Lightning Strike Lures Thanks, I think at eight times there needs to be some kind of award

+jorge doumat Thanks

johnny wishbone Thanks, the next one should be a little different

w delakas Thanks

ExcellsiorFishing I enjoyed making this little series, i think mainly because i had to think about avoiding just repeating myself and try some new things, so i am glad it worked out thanks.

I found this tube by chance at an art shop but it is a common item at model making suppliers and made by plastruct, it was also very cheap they make a round tube out of the same stuff. I did want to go a bit further and do something pvc foam, but it will have to wait for another video. I have also found before that keeping some of the weight near the head also balances the lure in flight a little better. Any time you fancy pointing a camera at the lures your making i'll be your first subscriber. Thanks

***** Hola Paul... Even though I do not have big hobby or art shops here in Lima, I will visit the large ones to see whether I find somekind of tubes and other materials. I often get my lures' making stuffs when I travel to the USA or buying them in Internet. Paul, I humbly invite you visit to my channel here in youtube to see what I do... At your side, I am just a quite beginner and I will try to improve my work. I really love it. I feel a huge pleasure everytime I catch a fish with my own spoonflies, jigs and lures. Have a great week

I have thought about doing a behind the scenes video, but part of me is a little embarrassed about the equipment i am using, the underwater footage in this video came from and old camera inside a £1 lunch box with some perspex stuck to the front and my slider is rigged up to motor from a broken cordless drill. You do not want to see what i am doing with swivel chairs. The "making off", might be something to show if i did a very short project and then showed how it was all brought together, i will have to think about it some more, thanks and glad you are enjoying them.

***** Embarrassed? Not at all Paul. I think you'll find that people appreciate 'hack jobs' or using what you have to hand more than store bought solutions. Helping folks to find their inner 'MacGyver' is a wonderful thing :) Oh and thank you for another fantastic 10 minutes of viewing too. The stress relief factor in watching your videos can't be beat. Cheers.

I agree, I find your well edited vid's to be exceptional! as for your equipment? most guys would love ANY simplicity! it would provide others to get into the process and perhaps bring a new product that would "steal the show?"

***** I'm a fan of the inner MacGyver :) And of the wonderful things Paul Adams' creates!

that's what I said to paul the editing is so high quality sound and video also, even better than (how its made) this mans voice is very calm and relaxing to hear and the content is of a very high calibre. cheers paul enjoyed every second of it as usual thumbs up for you

Tani Koev I keep thinking about experimenting with deep divers and making in the lip ties, as i have just starting fishing some deeper water and also in winter it is nice to kick up some mud on the bottom, thanks and good luck.

Glite Fishing thanks, when are you making another video?

Probably Next week *****

They ball bearings just have under half a millimeter of play, but i think hitting the plastic makes a sharper sound than just hitting balsa, also i have a feel the wood acts like a soundboard in the same way clockwork musical barrels don't; make much sound until they are placed on wood. This was filmed about ten inches if front of a compact camera in a modified sandwich box and the sound has not been altered in any way, i just thought i would play it instead of over dubbing, but it might be interesting to go and try it with some other lures. Thanks Dieter

***** That very small play inside of the square tubing is what is puzzling me most , the BB's do lack a certain distance of a run-up to hit the inner tubing walls with enough force to generate such a fairly loud noise , also the cadence of the single clicks in relation to the frequency of wobble does not seem to match that very small distance that the BB's could move sidewards ! And it would be hardly possible , that the BB's would be hitting one another by moving forward and backward parallel to the lure's center axis , as the lure rocks and wobbles towards either side only . I aggree to your other statements regarding different sounds generated by BB's hitting harder or softer materials , but Imust admit , that this lure of yours remains a mystery to me and shatters all of my thoughts and experiences about lure rattles(though your design surely is not intended to function as a rattle , but a long cast system in first place , I suppose ?). Greetz , Dieter

SolarBaits It makes a good rattle which surprised me as the weights don't have that much room to move , on the last piece of underwater video i left the sound on. I think next it need some kind of face.

***** i'm thinking the sound in the video comes from the split rings and the hooks them selfs hitting the lure body. the lake salmon/trout anglers here that troll for them have been using lures that make a certain pitch when the hooks hit the body, if i remember correctly the optimum pitch was 11hrz.

no, it was noisy as hell before i put the hooks on, so much so my wife said "can you stop ************ rattling that thing" so i went to the park to play with the water

SolarBaits Just messing with the equalizer on the editing software the rattle covers a range of frequencies between 1khz and about 15khz peaking towards the middle. I suppose with some simple electronics you could just generate and 11khz pulse or tune your spoon. Or if you had electronics on board your lure you could just test out different music styles, i think reggae for pike but i am guessing Finish pike prefer Death Metal.

Michael Loft I have never had problem using superglue for gluing internal faces, and when i have opened lures up a gain i found the joints are far stronger than the wood. So in these veneered lures it is almost like having another four very tough laminates. The draw backs are that it goes off very fast so if i put something in the wrong place it is staying there. Some lure builders use it to seal the lures as well before painting, but it is not something i have tried. Thanks

I bought these hooks from Mark at lurefactors.co.uk/ in the uk they are no. 6 thanks, i am working on two videos at the moment, so hopefully not too long

Ahh sorry I meant the eyed screw in bit to hold the hook or trace end. Many thanks for the quick reply.

Paul Cooper I make them from tig welding wire 1mm which i get on ebay, the process is shown in the first video in this series

Awesome many thanks Paul.

that was a camera in a modified tupperware

Question: I don’t have an airbrush, would spray paint suffice for painting the lure?

+mustak324 I am not offended its great to have honest feedback, I think one of the hardest things about videos is trying to find a voice, oddly the video you highlighted is not how i normally talk either but it is a little less constrained than the voice overs. I think when I look back over the videos,some of the voice overs have gone far too much towards the sound of a bedtime story rather than getting over the information i need to with some clarity. Getting information in the fewest possible words so the video doesn't go on for an hour is a big task and that often leads me down that route. Editing the videos is also a lot about playing with time, and making decisions about how i say things, do i say them with sound, with an image, with a voice over, that is something i am still learning. With the next video I am working on the plan is the mix it up and talk to the camera in 'normal' voice so i am in shot and with the voice overs to give other information, this has been a huge learning curve to that, i am not sure i have nailed and in some place the sound is bit rattling. Despite feedback good or bad I understand that I am not going to please all the people all the time, and i do get positive comments that my voice is helping to stem the tide of insomnia. cheers the new video should be out by the end of the week.

+Paul Adams (The Handmade Fisherman), thanks a lot for the reply and for the understanding. I guess there is a whole universe i don't know a tiny bit about, related to video editing and voice overs. I'm totally looking forward for the new videos and once again - thanks a million for what you are doing :) Cheers!

I am starting filming next week, but not at home so it maybe a couple of weeks before it is up, thanks

Enjoying your videos.... very well made and full of great ideas, thanks for sharing
